Halloween Costumes

I love Lady Gaga as much as the next little monster, but let’s not all be her for Halloween, k? Halloween parties should smell like candy and not beef jerky.

Mestads Southdale has prom dresses starting at just $25, many of which would make an awesome, unique, and glamorous Halloween costume. Here are a few of our ideas, but come in and see what else you can come up with:

·         Glampire: Pick your favorite black, red or purple gown, pair it with a cape and fangs, and you’re good to go!

·         Dream Girls: Pair any sequined gown with a huge bouffant wig, grab a microphone, and hit your favorite karaoke party!

·         80’s Madonna: We still have a few short, white, lace cocktail dresses, perfect for any Material Girl! Pair it with white lace boots, crimp your hair, and I DARE you to find a belt that says “Boy Toy”!
